Freeview with recorder

Want a freeview box, that I can also record with. I should think twin tuners are a must. Silver, so it matches, for Mrs Mac. Any suggestions?

I've had the Humax PVR 9200T for about a year now and I couldn't recommend it enough — freeview with twin tuners and a 160GB hard drive, as good as Sky+ IMO. A Which? Best Buy too...

I have a sagem PVR 6200T up the loft which is about 6 months old if your interested. I have moved house and can't get freeview, have had sky+ installed instead. I'm going to ebay it but not got round to it as yet.0

Good afternoon: Another vote for the Humax 9200! Had 2 other brands previously and both passed away suddenly...managed to return both for a full refund.
Good luck in your search.

I've got a 4 year old Pace Twin and I recently got a Humax 9200 as well. The Humax is excellent and has some nice features the Pace doesn't have.Trying hard to be a good moneysaver.0

Yet another vote for Humax 9200. I got it because of the recommendations on here and then I looked at the reviews and they are mostly great.
Had mine about 2 months now and can't fault it. Its dead easy to record stuff.
I paid £184 for mine with quidco cashback (about £8). They may well have gone down in price by now though.0 -
Yup...Humax again!! After the last one (Alba?) died suddernly, got the Humax for £180 online from Comet and can't recommend enough.0

John Lewis wasn't the cheapest, but have been good for me in the past, the Quidco should bring it down to about equal, if it works
How did you get on with the Humax? was it easy to install etc? we had a new wideband aerial installed a month ago after the old one blew down in the wind :mad: but haven't bought a box yet.
